Review: The Queen Mother: The Official Biography
The Queen Mother: The Official Biography by William Shawcross
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was an educational, easy read covering the life of a royal family member who was somewhat vague and mysterious to me until seeing the Helena Bonham Carter as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother in The King's Speech. Not only that episode of quiet leadership, this life story tells of her youg womanhood, meeting and marrying Prince Albert, role in WWI and WWII and her letters and eyewitnesses to the abdication of King Edward VIII, introduction of Lady Diana and her untimely death.
